Easy Origami Reindeer Instructions - DIY Paper Christmas Reindeer Decoration Tutorial

Make your own origami reindeer in a few minutes by following the easy step-by-step instructions of this tutorial. This DIY paper reindeer is in 3D and can stand, and it has very original curved antlers. The origami reindeers will make beautiful Christmas decorations. You can make a 2 color reindeer with origami paper of gift wrapping paper, or a one color reindeer with copy paper (white to make a snow reindeer).

Each origami reindeer is made from 1 long strip of paper, with a few easy folds. No glue or tape needed. It is a nice Christmas craft project for kids and it is easy enough for origami beginners.

There are no exact positions for most of the folds, so all paper reindeers will be different. You can make short or tall reindeers, with very long and curvy antlers, and you can shape the reindeer head in many different ways.

There isn't an exact size for the strip of paper either, but it has to be very long. In the video, I use strips that are 21 x 2.5 cm (about 8.5 x 1 inch), but you can experiment with different sizes.

This origami reindeer has joined front legs and joined back legs, but it can easily stand.

I only found this now after christmas, but the shape of this model reminds me a lot of classic swedish yule-goats made from straw! The most well known being the giant Gävle-bocken which is famous online for having been set on fire several times 😅 i will definitely try to make a few of these to hang in the tree next to our small straw goats :)
